Dorothy’s Red Shoes – Random Postcard Project
This was one of my first postcards – for the Random postcard project. For the project, one emailed a number from 1–100 to a special address, and received back a word. This word was to be illustrated on a postcard for display.
My work was featured alongside that of many other unknown and known artists/illustrators.
I was super proud to have my work featured in several media outlets including Design Week and Time Out next to the Herculean talent of Ralph Steadman. I felt like a complete charlatan in such esteemed company, but there we are. On a digression, I later met him at a talk at the V&A. I gave him a drawing on a postcard that I’d made during the talk (sadly no picture of it), and he wrote out one of his poems on a set of postcards in his wonderful spidery handwriting for me. It’s not true that you should never meet your heroes.
